These series of photographs, which were taken by Pablo Bartholomew in 1975. These raw pictures show the derelict and desperate conditions in which the female subject lives in, yet, her only focus is the object in her hands.

She smiles at her dog, yet gets to the important matters. The morphine has to be prepared.
